Hail in Long Island · Jun 8, 2026
The estimated-size surface reached 2.75" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Long Island that day. At 2.75" — baseball — this is a severe hail signal associated with roof damage. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.

Evidence / storm surfaces
How Long Island saw the hail — from two instruments
Jun 8, 2026 · Long Island, KS
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Max size
2.75"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 8, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Long Island, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 8, 2026 sits in Long Island's hail record.
This was Long Island's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Jun 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Long Island at 2.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than Long Island: the same system put hail over 359 other tracked cities, 173 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Stamford (11 miles northwest, up to 3"); Alma (13 miles northeast, up to 2.5"); Orleans (14 miles north, up to 2.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 9 Long Island storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.

Reports came from Orleans and Stamford — beyond Long Island itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2.75" hail means for Long Island roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
182 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$2.2M
Potential roof exposure — 182 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 1 job
- Illustrative work
- ~$15K
Close just 0.5% of the 182 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon
UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that
spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground
reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm
Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Sep 19, 2026.
